THE HUGUENOT SOCIETY OF AMERICA, 



This Society was founded in 1883, and as it is a national Society, it is desirable 
that every Huguenot family in America should be represented in it by one or more 
of its members. 

The objects, as stated in its Constitution, are as follows : 

' ' To perpetuate the memory and to foster and promote the principles and virtues 
of the Huguenots. 

To publicly commemorate at stated times the principal events in the history 
of the Huguenots. 

To discover, collect and preserve all still existing documents, monuments, etc., 
relating to the genealogy or history of the Huguenots of America in general, and of 
those of New York in particular. 

To gather by degrees a library, for the use of the Society, composed of all 
obtainable books, monographs, pamphlets, manuscripts, etc., relating to the 
Huguenots. 

To cause statedly to be prepared and read before the Society, papers, essays, 
etc., especially on obscure or disputed questions in Huguenot history or genealogy. 

To cause to be prepared and published, when the requisite materials have been 
discovered and procured, collections for a memorial history of the Huguenots in 
America, wherein shall be particularly set forth the part belonging to that element 
in the growth and development of American character, institutions and progress. 

To establish branches of this Society in other American cities, and to encourage 
the foundation of similar Societies in other countries, where Huguenots have taken 
refuge, in order to arrive, with their aid, at a correct estimate of the combined 
influence of the Huguenots upon the history of the world at large." 



The Membership of the Society embraces : 

All descendants in the direct male lines of the Huguenot families which 
emigrated to America prior to the promulgation of the Edict of Toleration, 
November 28th, 1787. 

All descendants through the female lines of the Huguenot families which em- 
igrated to America prior to the promulgation of the Edict of Toleration, November 
28th, 1787. 

Representatives of other French families whose profession of the Protestant faith 
is anterior to the promulgation of the Edict of Toleration, November 28th, 1787. 

Writers who have made the history, genealogy, principles, etc., of the Hugue- 
nots a special subject of study and research, to whatever nationality they may belong. 

The annual fees of members, Corresponding and Honorary members excepted, 
is five dollars, and the payment of fifty dollars constitutes a life member. 

The Mode of Electing Members is as follows : 

Candidates may be proposed in writing at any regular meeting of the Society, 
or of the Executive Committee. Such nominations, with a written statement of 
the name, address, occupation, and descent of each candidate, shall be considered 
at the next meeting of the Executive Committee after the nomination has been 
made, who shall pass thereon. If the said committee report favorably upon the 
nomination, the candidate shall be considered as duly elected ; but if any member 
of the Executive Committee demand a ballot, the election shall be by ballot, and a 
two-third vote of the members of the committee present shall be necessary to elect. 

Each elected member is notified of his election by the Secretary, who furnishes 
him with a copy of the Constitution and By-Laws, and List of Members. On 
admission the new member pays one year's subscription.
